thanks.

In the GB (mine anyway) the pivot pin doesn't look like the pivot pin in the Manix2. The pin in the GB is the same width all the way from end to end. The pin goes through the washer as well as the liner. The screw head then squeezes presser on the scale, liner, washer, blade tang, other washer ...

100% sure. Mine has been apart many times. The pivot is entirely a single tube with a screw going in on each side.

edit: You might be able to tell there's no pivot bushing (if you've seen one) from Gull Wing's second picture here http://www.spyderco.com/forums/showthread.php?56840-M4-and-apples ...

I like my knives to be a bit tighter and I cannot tighten them down to the point that I usually like.

It's a very small gripe but I would just like to throw it in the hat with the rest.

Some of the ...

I have an AUS-8 SS calypso Jr that has seen hard use and edc for more than a decade. The tip snapped and I had to re-grind the edge to match, but its still as tough and smooth as the first day. Very tough little knife that is quite attractive.
